Quick Tip Tuesday - DIY Pop Dots

Hello everyone and welcome to Tuesday!!!

I am excited about today's post because it is about one of my favorite non cricut tools that I love to use. And, that is pop dots. I love giving depth to my creations and I use these little guys in so many projects!

I found this great YouTube video provided by CraftaholicCentral showing exactly how you can create your own pop dots and so cheaply!

Now I have not been able to try this on my own as I do not own that big of a xyron sticker maker, but it is absolutely on my list. I can't wait to try it!





Thank you for joining me on another Quick Tip Tuesday, I will see you again next week!

Please be sure to come back tomorrow to check out our Wednesday Winners.

    You can do the same thing with your sticker maker xyron --- just cut the foam fun into narrow strips. There are a lot of fun colors at the craft store!

    I do this all the time...Its really a GREAT idea!! I use my small Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker and cut my foam a bit shy of 1.5" so it fits into the machine. Then I cut them into narrow strips and store away so they are ready for when I need them. I use all sorts of color foam, I think it blends in better with my projects and gives just the right amount of dimension.
